Art Class - Week 3

Here is Jason's work from Art Class yesterday. Amanda wasn'thappy with her sketches this week, and asked that they not be displayed for all the world to see.

Maybe next week.

First, we talked about cave paintings, and looked at some examples in books. Then we created our own, using brown paper and pastel chalks. We purposely crumpled up the paper to make it look more rock-like.

Then we talked about starting a picture file of magazine pictures, etc., and using those for inspiration and models for drawings. The boys all chose a magazine picture and drew from it, using pencil and watercolor crayons.

About Me

I am a Christian wife and homeschool mom of 5, living near Raleigh, North Carolina. I've been married to my best friend for 35 years. All of my children have graduated from our homeschool, and the youngest will soon leave for college, making me an "empty nester" after 32 years of mommyhood and 23 years of homeschooling. I enjoy spending time with my family, visiting with friends, baking cupcakes, being creative, reading, snuggling babies, mentoring, writing, and encouraging others in their homeschooling journey.
